For this blog post, I use the {modeltime} package to forecast 3 months of daily sales in Q1 for a young ‘Superstore’ company selling furniture, technology, and office supplies. The forecast can then be used to make decisions about supply-chain orders, warehouse inventory, and if/when new employees are needed to meet predicted sales demand after the holiday season.
